Confederation of Africa Football(CAF) has shut down any possibility of Nigeria hosting the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations(AFCON), reiterating that Guinea remains the hosting nation.
Recall multiple outlets reported yesterday, stating that the Nigeria Football Federation(NFF) President, Amaju Pinnick has made his intention known to CAF of the country’s plan to co-host the 2025 AFCON with the Benin Republic.
According to BBC, CAF officials disclosed that the organization has never debated replacing Guinea as the host country and everything is underway for the country to host the tournament.
“The host for the 2025 tournament remains Guinea and that has not changed,” he told BBC Sport Africa. “We’ve not discussed anything about a replacement or received any communication from Guinea about the inability to host. At this very moment, everything is on track for Guinea to host and there is no reason to suggest otherwise,” the statement read.
